Hungarian Weight Lifter, Janos Baranyai was competing in his first Olympics; it is one that he will remember for a very long time. The Weightlifter got it all wrong and while dropping the weights he dislocated his right elbow.
It seems that people are looking all over the Internet to watch the video of this happening, but all sites have had to take the videos down.
Baranyai was trying to snatch 148kg; it was his third lift, which was when his elbow pooped out. He was no longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backwards.
He fell to the floor and was crying out in pain. All the audience could do was watch helplessly, but they all felt his pain.
Janos Baranyai’s coaching staff as well as competition officials rushed to try and help the injured weight lifter, as he laid trembling and screaming in pain on the floor.
He was carried off the platform and taken to a local hospital for treatment. It is still not known what his condition is.
Baranyai was carried off the platform on a stretcher and taken by ambulance to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment, said Benny Johansson, a technical controller at the event. It was not immediately clear how serious the injury is.
